Free hanging heating and cooling surfaces for water with a temperature below 120 °C - Part 3: Rating method and evaluation of radiant thermal output of ceiling mounted radiant panels
This European Standard describes the procedure to determine the rated thermal output (D) and the mean surface temperature (trp).
Ceiling mounted radiant panels exchange heat mainly by radiation.
The test methods to determine the thermal output of ceiling mounted radiant panels, as described in EN 14037-2, give reliable results for comparing different products, but these results understate the output obtained under real operating conditions.

Overview
EN 14037-3:2013 is a European Standard developed by CEN that specifies the rating method and evaluation technique for determining the radiant thermal output of ceiling mounted radiant panels. These panels, designed for use with water at temperatures below 120°C, function primarily by transferring heat via radiation. This standard sets out a consistent methodology for determining both the rated thermal output (ΦD) and the mean surface temperature (trp) of such panels, ensuring reliable product comparison and optimal system design.
Ceiling mounted radiant panels are increasingly used in central heating and cooling systems for their efficient heat exchange properties and ability to deliver comfort in a variety of built environments. EN 14037-3:2013 is essential for manufacturers, testing laboratories, HVAC designers, and building engineers seeking to standardize and evaluate panel performance in realistic operating conditions.
Key Topics
- Rating Method for Thermal Output: EN 14037-3:2013 describes how to calculate the rated thermal output (ΦD) of ceiling radiant panels by applying a correction factor to laboratory test results-for more accurate sizing in real-life installations.
- Mean Surface Temperature Measurement: The procedure for determining the true mean surface temperature (trp) of the active panel surface using Infra-Red (IR) methods is outlined for accurate performance evaluation.
- Panel Emissivity Assessment: The standard details laboratory procedures for determining the emissivity of the panel’s original production surface, ensuring consistent thermal output characterization.
- Comparison Across Products: By applying the standardized methodologies, users can reliably compare the thermal performance of different ceiling mounted radiant panel products.
- Correction for Real-World Use: Recognizes that laboratory test conditions (per EN 14037-2) tend to understate actual thermal output under real operating scenarios, and compensates by introducing a correction factor.
Applications
- Central Heating and Cooling Systems: EN 14037-3:2013 is integral for the proper evaluation and sizing of radiant panels in commercial, institutional, and industrial buildings where ceiling-mounted solutions are preferred.
- Product Development & Testing: Manufacturers rely on the standard’s guidelines to accurately determine and declare the thermal performance of their products, enhancing transparency and marketability.
- Building Design & Engineering: HVAC designers and consulting engineers use the rating method to specify radiant panel systems, ensure code compliance, and optimize energy efficiency in new constructions or renovations.
- Quality Assurance: Accredited laboratories utilize the procedures set forth in EN 14037-3:2013 to validate panel performance during product certification and quality control.

Conclusion
Adopting EN 14037-3:2013 offers clear benefits for standardizing the evaluation and rating of ceiling mounted radiant heating and cooling panels. By following its methodology, stakeholders in the building and HVAC sector enhance the accuracy of performance data, promote energy efficiency, and provide end-users with reliable heating and cooling solutions tailored for real-world applications. When used alongside related standards in the EN 14037 series, it delivers a complete framework for the assessment and specification of radiant panel technologies.

Introduction
This European Standard results from the recognition that the ceiling mounted heating and cooling surfaces falling
into the field of application hereinafter stated are traded of the basis of their thermal and cooling output. For evalu-
ating and comparing different ceiling mounted radiant panels it is therefore necessary to refer to a single stipulated
value.
